Aircraft involved

Probable cause & findings

The pilot’s loss of directional control during landing roll, which resulted in a ground loop and collision with terrain.

Factual narrative

The pilot reported that shortly after landing, the airplane veered to the right. The pilot added engine power for added rudder authority to correct to the left. The airplane subsequently veered left, and the pilot reduced power and tried to correct with rudder, however, the airplane exited the runway. The pilot stated he used excessive braking and the airplane ground looped, which resulted in substantial damage to the right wing. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
